My tongue can’t sit properly as the teeth are too close. Can anything be done to resolve this?

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hi I’m in need of some help, Im 31 have a great smile & i guess i am very very lucky I had a brace when I was younger, I have a terrible problem though as I’ve got older my upper teeth are closing in. I find it so uncomfortable that my tounge can’t sit properly & it causes me to always get ulcers I have even got a imprints on the side at the front. I have looked over sites & willing to pay if I can get this resolved cheaper as I was never given a retainer & there’s not much needed doing apart from moving the two teeth away from my tounge. Im not sure what help I could get & need expert advice on how I can resolve this situation. It’s always there & gets me down. I have my old moulds & wonder where I can go from here. I wonder or hope someone could use me for a new system you may introduce. Or please could u advise me on what type of brace i would need. Its not for cosmetic reasons just to feel at more ease & comfortible living in my own mouth. Thank you for listening

What braces treatment should I get before my wedding?

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012
Q.

Hi, I am 21 years old and getting married in 9 months, I have been considering braces for the past couple of month. I had them when I was younger so there isnt much to be fixed but it’s for my own self confidence. Can you tell me how much I should budget for the cheapest option available? I shouldn’t need them for that long but have I left it too late to get something done before my wedding?

Thanks

My daughter has been in braces for 4 years now and her bite is completely off! Why is this happening and what should we do?

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes, I wondered if you could help me? My daughter had her baby tooth removed (next to front teeth – upper) 4 yrs ago, then a brace was fixed to bring down her permanent tooth. The orthodontist said she would shift her teeth over to bring down the permanent tooth. Well, 4 yrs later, the tooth came down, but she is still in braces and her bite is completely off and her teeth are slanted. What can we do? I have consulted 3 other orthodontists who are not sure about taking over treatment. Please advise me! Thank you!

I’m 13 and looking into receiving braces, can I get them for free?

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Q.

hey there dr patel, i wanted to ask if i can i get braces for free if im under 18? and do you do a monthly plan? The thing is that my teeth are not straight and it is worrying me because i don’t want problems when i am older.  i am under 18 and i dont mind going for 6-month smiles or invisalign but obviously it is more expensive to have them,  so maybe a monthly plan will be better? and i also wanted to ask if you do metal braces? because many teens here have metal braces but i wouldn’t mind and by the way im only 13.
that’s about it really i hope you reply soon and urm, where are you located? 🙂

thanks in advance 🙂
take careee

How many teeth are moved during the whole process of the 6 Month Smiles treatment?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012
Q.

I’m just looking at the 6 month smile program and i was wondering how many teeth are moved in the whole process?

I’ve read that only the teeth in the smile will move, how many teeth are considered the smile group? front 4,6,8? And do they include the bottom teeth also?

Also does this effect the bite after the procedure when only part of my teeth have moved? Atm my bite is uneven but it feels ok, will it change dramatically?

Many Thanks for your time

Is there a way I can move one of my back teeth to replace a missing front tooth?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012
Q.

I have big problems with my teeth right now. One of my teeth is not aligned with the other, not because it really is misaligned but I lost the front one. I used to have a wisdom tooth on that part, but I had it removed because it looked very ugly. It is where the biggest and pointed tooth is and I have two of them in one part of the gum. Since I lost the front one, the only tooth left on that part is the back one. It isn’t nice to look at. Are there methods to forward that tooth? Many thanks to you for the advice in advance

After describing my symptoms, do you think I could be suffering from a TMJ condition?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012
Q.

Dr Safeer Butt,

I think I may suffer from TMJ as my jaw is misaligned, at times the left side of my face becomes sore and warm and the my left jaw and cheekbone are higher and sharper on the left side and virtually invisible on the other. Now I’m not sure if that is just my “good side” for photos and the like or if this is caused by my teeth. As a result the tip of my nose and the bridge twists ever so slightly to the left and so my smile works imperfectly in relation to my nose and chin.

What would you recommend I do? I’m only 16 and I think these issues have arisen from improper wearing of braces, what do you think? It’s beginning to affect my confidence.Thank you for your time.
